2022 Famille de Boel ‘Rue de Poulies’ Saint Joseph Blanc, France Hanzell Vineyards Springbank 18 Year Old SingleRue de Poulies Saint Joseph Blanc comes from a small parcel of fruit located in the St. Jean de Muzols area of Saint Joseph, this white is a 50 50 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. The wine is racked 3 times in total before bottling, once after the pressing, once after the natural fermentation is complete, and once before bottling. Aging with the lees, and then some added time aging in bottle gives extraordinary texture and nuance to the final wine.
